It sounds like Reuben has patterned a strong fear response to the vet - understandably. For the interim I would ask for some support with medicine that will work at reducing his fear to the point of Reuben being able to work through this with the help of the staff. It might be a good idea to...

All done! Just needed a new magic wand! :inlove:

Thank you everyone for your very kind donations! It is very, very much appreciated!:hug: I have edited the link in the original post, and yes the forum isn't really optimised for mobile, being a bit clunky and old fashioned, but it is OUR forum! :inlove: :hearteyesdog: I have got a bit more...

Hi guys! :laughdog::hi: Firstly a big thank you to our mod team, for the smooth running this year of our little forum. :inlove::hug: Just to let you know I have busy behind the scenes clearing out cobwebs, sweeping, and goodness the state of the cupboards!! :shock: I have created a new donate...

He might just be a bit wound up - a nice frozen Kong, snuffle mat might help, failing that give him a crossword to do! :cwl:

:hug::hug:Snowie!!! Just look at him, a day out, with his besties, eating ice-cream, goofy but happy expression! Just thank you for sharing. It is difficult, especially when we share the hard times with our friends, then they offer advice in a caring way, but completely the wrong time, and...

Good luck with move @Naya! :inlove:

This is so very sad, really sorry to hear this. We both have such fond memories of a beautiful boy xx

Can you use a buggy for him? So he can get around, have a bit of sniff, but not aggravate his paws too much. Dear Snowy, still a very handsome lad! :heart: :hug:

Poor Red! Such a worry, and such a quick deterioation! Very similar to a friends dog, who was hospitalised as well, for a good few days in the end. Sending lots of lambies your way! :thelambiesarecoming::thelambiesarecoming:

Lovely update! :heart: :dug: :inlove:

Is it the act of you leaving the room that is worrying him? If you left food ie a Kong, or hide food does he eat this when you are out?

I teach a retreive for Scentwork. At silver level, the dogs need to search for a scented article, and bring it to hand. We teach drive and motivation first, working on building arousal. This also helps me see if there are issues with drive and picking up things. With Rajah, he might benefit...

Beautiful! It looks like Harley is just gently pressing your leg... :heart: :hug: :hug:

Oh Naya I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. Take life a day at a time. It has been nearly a year since we lost Casper, we still feel that ache of loss. But we can now smile when we remember his quirks, and he had lots of them! We have a dog in class that even has a bottom waggle...

Yes, definately the trickiest part of dog training! I just teach scent detection, part of the Silver course is scented retreives, such fun! I do blend gun dog training into this element as it makes sense ( plus is great fun! ) with the number of gundog breeds that come to class. I think I am...

You won't take up much space! :hug: :inlove: :pull:

Totally get this... :heart: I don't use this technique either when teaching, and I seem to attract mostly gundog breeds these days. It is a training method that really is too much for adolescent dogs/puppies, unless they are already used to problem solving - ie: can deal with threshold...

Happy Birthday dear Snowie! :heart: :hug: :cake::gift:

Good to hear from you, your photos are beautiful, rustic and moorish - but with a cornish vibe. I do remember learning about the Portugeuse / Spanish influence in Cornwall, dredging that bit of info from my school days in Peranaworthal! :inlove:
